In the journal Diabetes Care, a team of investigators demonstrated that vitamins C and E, along with mineral supplementation (including magnesium), appear to improve kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes and proved useful in addressing a common complication called diabetic nephropathy. During the trial, researchers found that at three months, levels of urinary albumin excretion--a marker of glomerular renal function--were reduced in the vitamin and combination groups. In addition, participants also experienced improved cardiovascular function, as systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure fell significantly in the combination group, along with fasting serum glucose levels. Overall, the researchers concluded that vitamin supplementation with or without mineral supplementation improves glomerular renal function in patients with the disease.
